A Surprise Package
Meet Strauss, a little teddy bear with a big surprise -- a rattle mechanism hidden inside! This remarkable Steiff bear is based on an extremely rare rattle bear from the Steiff archives. What makes Strauss so unique is his size -- Steiff normally only produced 3-inch rattle bears, just the right size for a toddler's grip. This rattle bear, however, is twice as big -- nearly 10 inches tall! It is believed that the original was produced as a special request for a customer, perhaps as a novelty or window-dressing item.

Strauss is fully jointed, made from white genuine alpaca hair, and comes with a studded leather collar. For children 6 and over -- contains small detachable parts.

Limited Edition: 1,500 pieces

This Steiff bear is hand made in Germany and carries the signature "Button in Ear" trademark and chest tag. Strauss is packaged in a black drawstring bag beautifully embroidered to commemorate this Steiff North American Exclusive teddy bear.
